Locally there is a group that would like to know where the nearest supermarket is.
It should be simple enough but I wasn't able to think of a simple solution. On Android we have OSMand which works well off line but for a windows lap top I couldn't think of anything similar so I'm looking for suggestions. These aren't mappers as such so solutions such as JOSM which I would normally use off line doesn't really cut it. Online using www.openstreetmap.org nomation will accept "supermarket cobourg ontario" and return four results each of which can be selected. If I use iD I can do a search but only when iD is zoomed in to the area. Is it possible to load iD up with a local file? Maperitive does work but explaining to a non technical non mapper how to load up a local file then then do a search for supermarket might be difficult. Then we get to routing which is built in to OSMand but how does one do it off line on a windows platform? Thanks John
